The aim of this study was to characterize the most suitable habitats for biodiversity in Saida Mountains. The Matorral with Tetraclinis articulata (Vahl) Mast. and Phil- lyrea sp, the Matorral with Tetraclinis articulata, Rosemarinus sp, and Quercus coccifera L. scrub plant community appeared to be the most diversified in terms of biodiversity and Pre-steppe formation is poor (in terms of plant diversity). However, and generally speaking, biodiversity is maximal for the more or less open tree matorrals; which decreases in the case of degradation and ecosystem fragmentation. It should be stressed that all habitats present a particular flora that is very important for the conservation of the Saida Mountains.enSaida Mountainsplants diversitytypology studyhabitatsphytosociological methodSaïda region plants diversity (West of Algeria): First typological study of its forest and pre-steppe habitatsArticle
